You might wonder why a tough guy in a suit would ever wear a scarf. Well, underneath that slick outfit, a gangster is all about taking care of business. That makes the scarf a natural choice of accessory, since its air of fanciness belies an extremely versatile piece of fabric.

In a pinch, it can serve as a field dressing for knife or bullet wounds. You can lend it to the Don if he's got a little meat sauce on his upper lip. Any criminal worth his scarf can even twist and fold it into a makeshift sling for his tommy gun, a sheath for his knife, a holster for his sidearm, or a little pouch for his flask.

Listen: organized crime might seem like a good way to get out there and make some little friends, but you'll soon find that the only person you can trust is yourself. And the sooner you come to that realization, the sooner you'll see the true value of a reliable and functional piece of neckwear like this one.
